The standard UEFI boot path for Ubuntu is always to boot via shim and then to grub.
But we also know that the signed shim binary we currently have for arm64 is broken on this architecture. The fixed shim is in the process of being signed and in the meantime this is simply an unsupported configuration. If this is reproducible when chainloading from shim to grub, then it is a valid bug and requires further investigation. But there are log messages in the bug history suggesting that the lack of shim might be the cause, so for the moment I am assuming that is the case and marking this as invalid. Given that you've mentioned having secureboot turned off anyway, you could try the unsigned shim binaries from https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu- uefi-team/+archive/ubuntu/ppa/+packages to see if you can reproduce the problem when booting shim->grub. ** Changed in: grub2 (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1839317 Title: Grub fails to chainload the Windows Boot Manager on aarch64 laptops To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/1839317/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
